What if human can live “as long as” God? Can we attain the same level of “enlightenment”? I doubt it. For the simple reason that we are not designed as such. Our 8oz brain is just…so….so…8oz…

Agree on both points – that more is revealed when more is learned, and we will also inevitably relearn lessons of the past.

Agree with you that the pursuit of God should be our primary aim for all the obvious reasons.

The point I was making is the multi-generational issue. Despite everything you learn and gain in wisdom, you will still be unable to effectively “transfer” it to your descendants to have them “pick up from where you left off”. They are destined to have to re-learn in on their own. Now obviously as a father, you can guide your children. But in all history, from Israel, Moses, David, Solomon etc. all great men of God, still had children who did evil in the sight of God. Is it for lack of parenting ability? Or is it simply that wisdom is a path every person must walk through with their own feet.

If we unable to pass wisdom to the next generation, then we cannot possibly achieve the same level of enlightenment as God because even assuming He is not infinite (70 trillion trillion years old) we will still never be able to reach where He is because compared to Him, our greatest and most enlightened person in all history is still nothing but a “fly”.

My random thoughts:

Time is definitely A factor but not THE factor. Pursuit of wisdom & knowledge for most of mankind is for the primary purpose of survival, or the "advancement" of survival. And even that, most giants of wisdom & knowledge lived either a short life or the "spark of inspiration" happened in a relatively short time span. Time IS a factor, but NOT the factor in achieving our "potential".

On the contrary, I would suggest most flies lived their "full" potential. Reason being, they live "fullest" to their Maker's design & purpose. Same goes for the mice & dogs. But what about HUMAN?

Rather than living "fullest" to our Maker's design & purpose, most of us are pursuing the "animal life" - eat, sleep, procreate, die. But since we ARE designed differently than the animals, our other attributes kicked in to find this - purpose of life. And cuz of our fallen nature, we used these abilities to pursue a vain life under the influence of Satan.

So how shld mankind live to the fullest within the time span alloted? Pursue God. That shld be our primary aim. That's wisdom.

Just my random thoughts...

Interesting point. There is also the how we deal with the revealed things (in this case the knowledge and wisdom) – whether we learn it quickly, so that God can reveal more to us. Or we keep on learning/relearning the same thing over and over again like the Israelite. Though sometimes I wonder if there is such a thing as learn it quickly. Hm.
